The length of the tobacco filler 120 can be from about b to 18 mm, but is not limited thereto. For example, the length of the tobacco filler 120 may be approximately 12 mm, but is not limited thereto.

The cooler 130 can lower the temperature of the aerosol so that the user can inhale the aerosol at a certain temperature.

For example, the cooler 130 can be formed from cellulose acetate and can be

With a tubular design with a cavity inside. For example, the cooler 130 can be formed by adding a plasticizer (eg, triacetin) to the cellulose acetate fiber. For example, the single denier of cooler 130 may be 5.0, and the overall denier of cooler 130 may be, but is not limited to, 28,000.

Fig. 4A-4AM are views illustrating examples of a heating unit (ie, a heater) of an aerosol generating device.

With reference to Fig. 4A-4M, the heating temperature of the inner and/or outer part of the aerosol cooling product can be selectively (or jointly) adjusted with the help of heaters 410, 411 and 412 of internal heating and heaters 420, 421 and 422 of external heating.

With reference to Fig. 4! and 4) the first temperature reached by the first internal heating heater 411 may be the same or different from the second temperature reached by the second internal heating heater 412. Depending on the type of medium contained in the aerosol-generating product, the first temperature and the second temperature may differ from each other.

Fig. 4K-4M illustrate examples in which the internal heating heater 410 and the external heating heater 420 are separated so that each part of the aerosol cooling product can be heated to a different temperature.

Fig. 4M illustrates an example in which the device for generating an aerosol contains a plurality of heating units 411, 412, 421 and 422. FIG. 4AM illustrates two heaters 411 and 412 for internal heating and two heaters 421 and 422 for external heating, but the number of heaters is not limited to the example in FIG. 4M. Also Fig. 4M illustrates that the internal heating heaters 411 and 412 and the external heating heaters 421 and 422 are fully heated, but not limited thereto. In other words, the internal heating heaters 410, 411 and 412 or the external heating heaters 420, 421 and 422 shown in FIG. 4A-4M, can be fully or partially heated.

Fig. BA-5C are types that illustrate examples of connecting interaction between an aerosol generating device and an aerosol-generating product.

External heating heaters 520, 540, 561 and 562 shown in FIG. BA-5C, can be one of the heaters 420, 421 and 422 of external heating, shown in Fig. 4A-4M.

With reference to Fig. BA at least part of the aerosol cooling product 510 can be surrounded by a wrapping material 530 (hereinafter referred to as a "heat-conducting wrap") containing a heat-conducting material. Here, the thermally conductive wrap 530 may be a heat conductor, as shown in FIG. 1A-20. The external heating heater 520 may be located adjacent to at least a portion of the thermally conductive wrap 530. Here, the thermally conductive material may be a paramagnetic material (eg, aluminum, platinum, ruthenium, etc.) that does not function as a current collector.

For example, the external heating heater 520 may be an induction heater. When the external heating heater 520 is an induction heater, the heat-conducting wrap 530 of the aerosol cooling product 510 can conduct the heat generated by the current collector. This is to support the part 511 of the aerosol cooling product 510, which is directly heated by the external heating heater 520 in a high temperature state and conducts heat to the part 512 through the heat-conducting wrap 530.

In another example, the external heating heater 520 may be an electrical resistance heater. When the external heating heater 520 is an electrical resistance heater, the length of the part 511 directly heated by the external heating heater 520 may be shorter than the total length of the heat-conducting wrap 530. Thus, while the part 511 of the aerosol cooling product 510 can maintain a high temperature, the part 512 can maintain a relatively low temperature.

With reference to Fig. 5B, the thermally conductive wrap 550 may surround at least a portion of the aerosol cooling product 510. Here, the thermally conductive wrap 550 may be a heat conductor, as shown in FIG. 1A-20. The heater 540 may be located outside or inside a portion of the aerosol cooling product 510 surrounded by a thermally conductive wrap 550. For example, here the thermally conductive wrap 550 may contain a paramagnetic material (eg, aluminum, platinum, ruthenium, etc.) that does not function as a current collector.

For example, the specific power or heat capacity of zone A and zone B of the heater 540 may differ from each other. For example, the heat capacity of zone A and zone B of the heater 540 may differ due to the difference in the structure, shape, density, etc. of the heating electrode (for example, the conductive track). As another example, when heater 540 is an induction heater, the heat capacities of zone A and zone B of heater 540 may differ due to differences in the structure, shape, density, etc. of the coils or current collectors of zone A and zone B.

With reference to Fig. 5C, the thermally conductive wrap 570 may surround at least a portion of the aerosol dispenser 510. Here, the thermally conductive wrap 570 may be a heat conductor, as shown in FIG. 1TA-20. A plurality of heaters 561 and 562 may be located outside or inside a portion of the aerosol cooling product 510 surrounded by a thermally conductive wrap 570. For example, here the thermally conductive wrap 570 may contain a paramagnetic material (e.g., aluminum, platinum, ruthenium, etc.) that does not function as current receiver

For example, the plurality of heaters 561 and 562 may be induction heaters and may consist of a single coil or multiple coils. In another example, the plurality of heaters 561 and 562 may be resistive heaters.

Fig. 6 is a view illustrating an example of an aerosol generating device.

With reference to Fig. 6, the aerosol generating device 610 includes an identification sensor 611 and a controller 612. In the aerosol generating device 610 shown in FIG. 6, elements relating to this embodiment are shown. Thus, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the aerosol generating device 610 may further include other elements in addition to the elements shown in FIG. 6.

The controller 612 can automatically identify the aerosol generating product 620 inserted into the device 610 for generating an aerosol. Also, the controller 612 can automatically activate the device 610 for generating an aerosol and/or select the best temperature profile for controlling the heater according to the identification result.

For example, the identification sensor 611 may be a sensor that generates a constant frequency magnetic field signal and reads a frequency magnetic field signal that is reflected back from the aerosol dispenser 620. As another example, the identification sensor 611 may be a sensor that distinguishes the color of the aerosol dispenser 620 or the shape, such as a band formed on the aerosol-forming product 620. As another example, the identification sensor 611 may also be configured to determine reflectance, refractive index, or light transmission. As another example, the identification sensor 611 may be an optical sensor, an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, and the like.

The controller 612 may control all operations of the aerosol generating device 610 .

In particular, the controller 612 controls the operations of other elements contained in the device 610 for generating an aerosol, as well as the operations of the identification sensor 611 and the heater. Also, the controller 612 can determine whether the device 610 for generating an aerosol is in an operational state by checking the states of the corresponding elements of the device 610 for generating an aerosol.

Controller 612 may include at least one processor. Here, the processor can be implemented as an array of many logical elements or can be implemented as a combination of a general-purpose microprocessor and memory, which houses the program executed in the processor. Also, those skilled in the art, to which this embodiment relates, will understand that a processor may be implemented in other forms of hardware.

Fig. 7A-7C are views illustrating examples in which an identifying element is included in an aerosol-generating product.

With reference to Fig. 7A-7C, in each part of the aerosol dispenser, the identifying element may contain the same material or different materials. For example, with reference to Fig. 7C, the identifying element in each part of the aerosol-generating product may have the same material or the same color, but different thickness, area, shape, etc. Alternatively, with reference to FIG. 7A-7B, the identifying element in each part of the aerosol dispenser may have a different material or color. The arrangement of the identifying elements is not limited to a specific example.

Fig. 8 is a view illustrating an example of an aerosol generating device.

With reference to Fig. 8, the aerosol generating device 800 includes a heater 810, a temperature and humidity sensor 820, and a controller 830. In the aerosol generating device 800 shown in FIG. 8, elements relating to this embodiment are shown.

Thus, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the aerosol generating device 800 may further include other elements in addition to the elements shown in FIG. 8.

The heater 810 shown in FIG. 8, may be at least one of the internal heating heaters 410, 411 and 412 and the external heating heaters 420, 421 and 422 shown in FIG. 4A-

AM.

With reference to Fig. 8, the aerosol generating device 800 can recognize the external environment and select the best temperature profile according to the detected external environment to control the heater 810. Thus, the aerosol generating device 800 can provide the user with vapor that best suits the user's taste.

To adjust the quality (eg, flavor or vapor volume) of the aerosol, the aerosol generating device 800 may operate according to a predetermined heating condition (ie, a temperature profile). In general, the temperature profile is uniformly applied in one uniform structure to prevent differences in aerosol sensations from generation due to changes between aerosol generating devices 800 , changes between aerosol generating products 850 , etc.

With reference to Fig. 8, a temperature and humidity sensor 820 may be located inside the aerosol generating device 800 to receive information about the temperature or humidity of the current aerosol generating location 800 . Thus, the aerosol generating device 800 can use different temperature profiles to heat the aerosol cooling product 850. For example, the temperature profile A can be optimized for a hot and humid area, the temperature profile B can be optimized for a cold and dry area, and the temperature profile C can be optimized for an area that exhibits normal temperature and humidity. In this case, the aerosol generating device 800 can recognize the external environment of the aerosol generating device 800 using the temperature and humidity sensor 820 and select the most suitable temperature profile from the temperature profiles A, B, and C based on the recognition result.

For example, the aerosol generating device 800 may select a temperature profile by using a particular value of the temperature and humidity sensor 820 or may select a temperature profile by using weather information received from an external device 860 .

Also, the device 800 for generating an aerosol can switch to another temperature profile taking into account atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, etc. Current situation.

For example, the aerosol generating device 800 can check the user's location information and accurately recognize weather information at the user's location based on the location information. Thus, the aerosol generating device 800 can switch to a different temperature profile based on the recognized

From weather information.

For example, the device 800 for generating an aerosol can select one temperature profile from a plurality of temperature profiles in accordance with the temperature and/or humidity determined by the temperature and humidity sensor 820.

With reference to Table 1, the memory of the aerosol generating device 800 may store criteria for distinguishing high temperature, room temperature, and low temperature and a criterion for distinguishing high humidity, normal humidity and low humidity. For example, the controller 830 can further divide temperature and humidity, and in this embodiment, the number of temperature profiles formed by the combination of temperature and humidity can be more than nine. The controller 830 can check the result of recognition of the temperature and humidity sensor 820 and determine which criterion is closest to the external temperature and/or humidity of the aerosol generating device 800. Thus, the controller 830 can select a particular temperature profile from a plurality of pre-stored temperature profiles. For ease of disclosure

Table 1 shows that pre-stored temperature profiles are associated with, but not limited to, combinations of temperature and humidity. In other words, pre-saved temperature profiles can only be related to external temperature or external humidity. The controller 830 may fine-tune the preset temperature profile based on the temperature and/or humidity determined by the temperature and humidity sensor 820 .

Table 2 is a table showing an example of a plurality of high-precision control units that are output from the device 800 for generating an aerosol. In particular, Table 2 shows nine groups of high-precision control units. For example, the controller 830 can select one of the pre-stored temperature profiles, as shown in Table 1, according to the external temperature determined by the temperature and humidity sensor 820. Also, the controller 830 can fine-tune the selected temperature profile according to Table 2 based on the outdoor humidity as determined by the temperature and humidity sensor 820. Additionally, the user can adjust or select a temperature profile using the aerosol generating device 800.

Also, the aerosol generating device 800 may record the smoking history for each location, information about the temperature profile selected at the corresponding location, etc., thereby forming a collection of preset data (ie, the "Database"). Thus, the aerosol generating device 800 can receive information about the best temperature profile to apply to the aerosol generating product 850 in various situations, and learn from the received information. As a result, when the user moves to a new area, or when the latest weather information in the user's area cannot be obtained, a better temperature profile may be selected or the temperature profile may be adjusted based on the data stored in the aerosol generating device 800, and the reading result of the temperature and humidity sensor 820 of the device 800 for generating an aerosol.

Also, the device 800 for generating an aerosol may contain a plurality of temperature sensors and check whether the device 800 for generating an aerosol has overheated according to the temperature determined by the temperature sensors.

Fig. 9 is a view illustrating an example of an aerosol generating device.

With reference to Fig. 9, the device 900 for generating an aerosol can additionally contain a heater 910, a battery 920, a protection circuit module 925 (MC3Z), a first thermistor 930, a second thermistor 940, a temperature sensor 960 and a temperature and humidity sensor 970. In the aerosol generating device 900 shown in FIG. 9, only certain components relevant to this embodiment of the invention are shown. Thus, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the aerosol generating device 900 may further include other elements in addition to the elements shown in FIG. 9.

As shown here, it is assumed that the heater 910 is located above the battery 920 and the long part of the printed circuit board 950 is located opposite the battery 920. However, the relative location of the elements may vary depending on the embodiment.

The heater 910 shown in FIG. 9, may be at least one of the internal heating heaters 410, 411 and 412 and the external heating heaters 420, 421 and 422 shown in FIG. 4A- 4M. Also, the circuit board 950 shown in FIG. 9 may refer to the controller 830 shown in FIG. 8.

The battery 920 may supply power to the heater 910 and may be positioned such that its upper surface faces the underside of the heater 910. Although not shown in FIG. 9, the battery 920 and the heater 910 may be electrically connected to each other. The battery 920 may be connected to the heater 910 via a printed circuit board 950 or may be directly connected to the heater 910 .

MC3Z 925 can be located near the top surface of the battery 920. MCZ 925 is a protection circuit for the battery 925, which can prevent the battery 920 from being overcharged or discharged. Also, the MCZ 925 can prevent the overload current from entering the battery 920 and interrupting the connection in case short circuit in the circuit connected to the 920 battery.

The first thermistor 930 is a resistor whose resistance changes immediately when the temperature changes and which can be used to read the temperature. The first thermistor 930 may be electrically connected to the MCZ 925 located on the upper surface of the battery 920, and the information measured by the first thermistor 930 may be

Zo is transferred to the printed circuit board 950 with the help of MC3Z 925.

The first thermistor 930 may be located near the front or back surface of the battery 920. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the first thermistor 930 may be located near the back surface of the battery 920. The first thermistor 930 may be located near the center of the front or back surface of the battery 920.

The center of the front or back surface of the battery 920 corresponds to the part with the highest temperature in the battery 920, and thus corresponds to the part most affected by damage or explosion of the battery 920. The aerosol generating device 900 can measure the temperature of the part most affected by damage or explosion of the battery 920, due to the use of the first thermistor 930, as well as overheating of the device 900 for generating the aerosol can be determined based on the measured temperature.

A second thermistor 940 may be located between the heater 910 and the battery 920 .

The space between the heater 910 and the battery 920 corresponds to the part having the highest temperature in the device 900 for generating an aerosol, and thus corresponds to a certain part for determining the general state of overheating of the device 900 for generating an aerosol.

At least a portion of the MCZ 950 may pass through the space between the heater 910 and the battery 920 , and the second thermistor 940 may be located adjacent to at least a portion of the MCZ 950 passing through the space between the heater 910 and the battery 920 .

The MCZ 950 may determine whether the aerosol generating device 900 has overheated based on the temperatures measured by the first thermistor 930 and the second thermistor 940 .

When the aerosol generating device 900 is determined to have overheated, the MCZ 950 is in a standby mode until the overheat is reset, and then automatically performs a heating operation with the heater 910 .

The temperature sensor 960 may be located adjacent to the heater 910 to directly or indirectly measure the temperature of the heater 910. The heater 910 is a part that affects the cigarette inserted into the aerosol generating device 900, and the characteristics of the aerosol generated from the cigarette may vary according to the temperature heater 910.

The aerosol generating device 900 according to this embodiment may determine whether the aerosol generating device 900 is overheated based on the temperature of the heater 910 as measured by the temperature sensor 960. Thus, unless the hardware components inside the aerosol generating device 900 are expected to will be damaged by the additional heating operation, but the additional heating operation is expected to adversely affect the characteristics of the aerosol formed from the cigarette, the aerosol generating device 900 may be determined to be overheated.

A temperature and humidity sensor 970 may be located near the bottom surface of the battery 920 to measure temperature or humidity. The area near the bottom surface of the battery 920 is the part that is least affected by the heater 910 and, thus, it can have a temperature similar to the outer casing that constitutes the outer part of the aerosol generating device 900. The aerosol generating device 900 according to an embodiment may determine whether the aerosol generating device 900 is overheated based on the temperature of an area near the bottom surface of the battery 920 as measured by the temperature and humidity sensor 970 . Thus, the aerosol generating device 900 can determine a state in which the external temperature is too high as an overheat state.

The MCZ 950 may determine whether the aerosol generating device 900 has overheated based on temperatures measured by at least two of the following: the first thermistor 930 , the second thermistor 940 , the temperature sensor 960 , and the temperature and humidity sensor 970 . As disclosed above, the aerosol generating device 900 according to an embodiment may determine its overheating state by comprehensively considering the possibility of damage to the hardware components inside the aerosol generating device 900, the characteristics of the aerosol generated from the cigarette, the possibility of safety issues due to external temperature, etc. Thus, the aerosol generating device 900 can be maintained in the best condition.

The device 900 for generating an aerosol can be connected to an external device by means of wireless communication, and control can be carried out using an application installed on external devices.
